Of course it's a fact.

It's obvious, unfortunately we don't have the stats, ebay does.

So I'm assuming you sell regularly on Ebay and have tried both types of Buy It Now, with and without immediate payment? A lot of the immediate payment lots have quicker shipping linked with them ('want it now') which is more important to buyers than some mythical choice of waiting a few days to pay or paying immediately.

TBH, I am a buyer and I don't see why it's an issue, in fact I think all buy it nows should be immediate payment only anyway, I mean, if you purchase anything from the internet at a fixed price you have to pay straight away, you can't just decide to pay for it a few days later, why should buy it nows on ebay be any different?

Why would you want to bother tying up 'facts' with statistics to support them?:rolleyes:

Why do you think they've hidden it from view ??

No.

They've moved the item number too, would you say they've hidden that also? :rolleyes:

So did you wake up this morning with some bee in your bonnet about ebay and then spend hours looking for something? And that was all you could come up with that immediate Payment is under the Payment tab! Oh dear oh dear you really need to get out more

I don't quite understand why anyone though would click on a BIN and go ahead to buy if they were merely looking at the auction. I really can't see the fact that it doesn't say which are immediate payment and which are not would put people off.

Buy It Now's have previously been shown with text Immediate Payment Required.

Saying you don't understand why someone is put off is not understanding anyone how anyone might take into account various options on view.

What you choose/prefer/consider are different to me & other people.

That's interesting because you are seller on ebay & you didn't realise.

What a pointless post! You want the item, you buy it & pay for it! You don't buy it then leave it days before you pay! Whats the problem with that?!!

Only realised that later.
Everyone's got to have a bee in their bonnet.

But I am right, you can see what ebay are doing.
